Acai's Sky

Li Huaishan curled his lips, revealing a hint of disdain as he said, "Those local scholars are amazing. Each of them is a reincarnation of a night owl. Their eyes are as bright as lanterns. They can see the trick just by looking at it, and they are so accurate!" He shook his head as he spoke, as if he was quite afraid of these people's abilities.

At this time, Gao quickly picked up the small yellow croakers on the table and carefully put them into the drawer and locked it.

She sighed softly and said, "Our family is fine, there's nothing to worry about. But the Shen family was really scared. I heard they even brought in a lot of cement to seal the cellar tightly."

Li Huaishan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, as he nonchalantly replied, "His family has been a prominent family for generations. They have so many good things in their home that even if we were to use a train, it would fill up a hundred or eighty railway cars! How can we not be worried? We can't compare to them."

After saying this, he shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was well aware of the gap.

When Ah Cai, who was standing aside, heard this, she suddenly realized.

It turns out that in the original owner's memory, the reason why the Shen family ended up in such a miserable end was all because they were too rich and too ostentatious, which aroused the envy of others.

Thinking of this, Ah Cai couldn't help but sigh secretly that things in this world are impermanent, and wealth can sometimes become a sin.

Li Huaishan looked towards the Qinling Mountains in the distance, muttering to himself, "It's better to seal it off, but I just hope they don't make any mistakes by then... Sometimes, money really does harm people. Too much money becomes a sin, as the saying goes, 'having money is a sin'!" His voice was not loud, but it was full of emotion and worry.

Gao, on the other hand, seemed much more open-minded. She consoled her husband, saying, "Master, think positively. If something really happens, you should be decisive in giving up your wealth. Saving your life is the most important thing. After all, money is something you can't bring with you when you're born, so there's no need to take it too seriously."

When he heard the village bell, Li Huaishan tucked the stack of newspapers under his arm and took his two sons to the meeting.

Ah Cai held her small and exquisite hoe tightly in her hand and walked briskly towards the backyard, preparing to plant some precious herbs.

As she passed the shed, she caught a glimpse of a horse out of the corner of her eye. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the horse her father had brought back when he had just returned.

It was so skinny that it looked as if a gust of wind could blow it down. It was so thin that it was almost unrecognizable.

Ah Cai's heart tightened, and she quickly took out a handful of fresh and juicy spiritual herbs from the bag she was carrying and carefully handed it to the horse's mouth.

The chestnut horse seemed to sense Ah Cai's kindness. It gently rubbed her palm with its nose, then opened its mouth impatiently and began to chew the magical herbs.

Ah Cai gently stroked the horse's back and said softly, "Don't worry, eat slowly. You'll have a lot of work to do in the coming period, so don't tire yourself out!"

At this moment, a clear and pleasant sound of a deer calling came from not far away.

Ah Cai turned her head and saw that those beautiful sika deer were running towards her happily. They came to the fence in front of the shed, staring at the magical herbs in Ah Cai's hand, making anxious noises from time to time, obviously feeling envious and jealous when they saw her feeding the horses.

Ah Cai smiled helplessly and had to put down the work at hand and walk up to the sika deer.

She first gently stroked the head of one of the sika deer and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, my little cuties, it will be your turn soon!"

Then, she returned to the stable and continued to feed the chestnut horse with many spiritual herbs, and added a few handfuls of fragrant black beans.

When the horses had almost finished eating, Ah Cai nodded with satisfaction and turned to walk towards the group of impatient sika deer.

Each of these little guys stretched their necks and stuck their heads out of the fence, staring at the food in Acai's hand with their round eyes.

Ah Cai smiled, opened the fence gate, walked into the middle of the deer herd, and began to distribute spiritual herbs and other delicious spiritual fruits to each sika deer in turn.

Suddenly, she was pleasantly surprised to find that several of the musk deer were pregnant, and several sika deer also had big bellies.

"Oh my, that's great! It looks like our family will soon have a new member! We have to take good care of these expectant mothers and feed them more delicious food!" Ah Cai whispered to herself excitedly.

So she took even better care of these lovely animals, hoping that they could give birth to cubs safely and healthily.

...

Li Huaishan was wearing a sheepskin coat, with a rolled-up newspaper tucked tightly under his arm, and was walking hurriedly towards the meeting place.

Along the way, he smiled and nodded to everyone he met, and people responded to him, asking about the world outside.

When Li Huaishan arrived at the dam where the meeting was held, Lin Kun and Wei Yuan, who had been waiting there, immediately noticed the newspaper tucked between his armpits.

The two looked at each other, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

"Brother, what are you doing here with a newspaper?" Lin Kun asked first, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Li Huaishan smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he handed the newspaper to them: "You two should take a closer look at it first. Don't make a fuss. Remember to send it to Doctor Shen after you finish reading it."

Lin Kun took the newspaper and opened it eagerly, but his brows gradually furrowed as he read. "Oh my! There's actually a war going on in the north! Why is our country getting involved?"

Wei Yuan leaned over to glance at the newspaper, then tapped the words with his finger and said, "That's right. I heard that Jin even consulted the Soviets before going to war, and they were quite supportive of their civil war. But I didn't expect that they would be killed by Da Mili in the end, and the war has even spread to our Anton!"

Hearing this, Lin Kun gritted his teeth in anger, his eyebrows knitted together tightly, as if he could pinch a mosquito to death. "Humph! This Soviet is too outrageous. They don't have the courage to confront the rice grain head-on, yet they have the nerve to trick us into sending troops to help. Without sufficient support, who would be stupid enough to go to war!"

At this moment, Li Huaishan, who had been standing silently nearby, finally couldn't help laughing. He looked at the two people in front of him who were filled with righteous indignation and said slowly, "Haha, you two are still thinking too simply. How could our teacher not think of this? Just wait and see, we will definitely be able to reap the benefits of this."
